Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 399 - 189: Fuel Secured

After receiving He Shuo’s report, Chen Jian swiftly issued the order to withdraw from Jinling City.

Although there’s not enough evidence right now to prove that Zhang Tao might turn against the Huaxia Army before the war starts, Chen Jian trusts He Shuo’s judgnt.

If he has already felt that the direction of the chanical God Sect is becoming uncontrollable, the last choice when facing a major threat is to maintain distance and avoid contact as much as possible.

However, this withdrawal made Chen Jian completely lose confidence in the chanical God Sect.

He initially thought that supporting a relatively trustworthy leader to co to power could change the situation of the chanical God Sect, gradually ’transform’ and ’purify’ it, but evidently, the inertia of religion is too strong.

The conspiracy of the ambitious can never be extinguished with taphysical theories, but only washed away with solid artillery.

It seems that after dealing with the Beast Tide crisis, the next step for the Huaxia Army is to use force to reclaim the territory and population controlled by the chanical God Sect, eradicating the festering sore completely.

This is destined to be a difficult task.

But on this wasteland, what isn’t hard?

----the good news is Jiang Yu successfully completed her mission.

Beside the airport of Base 011, Chen Jian quietly watched Jiang Yu skillfully land the bomber.

After she climbed out of the plane, the ground staff who had received brief training imdiately approached and began unpacking the cargo from the plane.

He followed Lei Jie towards Jiang Yu’s direction, and the latter ran a short distance, then stood at attention and saluted, speaking loudly:

"Report, Commander! I have completed the transportation mission! Please advise!"

"Very well, you worked hard."

Lei Jie nodded sowhat perfunctorily, and then imdiately ran toward the plane to check the rocket fuel Jiang Yu brought back, while Chen Jian stayed put and spoke to Jiang Yu:

"Relax, it was a tough trip."

"How did it go, smoothly?"

"Very smoothly!"

Excitent lit up Jiang Yu’s face, and she opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say for a mont.

How should she describe this flight across a thousand kiloters?

If the previous missions were just her chanically following Fu Xi’s guidance to bomb fixed targets, even personally controlling the plane, yet still having an illusion of ’being restricted,’ this ti the mission truly left her isolated and unaided.

But it was this isolation that gave her an unprecedented sense of control.

Although most of the flight path was covered by the cellular network, she had to increase the flight altitude in pursuit of a higher range.

And once the flight altitude is raised, it ans losing connection with the base behind.

Initially, when Fu Xi’s voice disappeared in her headphones for the first ti, she felt unprecedented fear.

But soon, the fear was completely dispelled by the breathtaking view thousands of ters above the ground.

Those mountains, those rivers, those human settlents like anthills...

She had never seen the world she was in from this perspective.

The great distance brought a strange sense of detachnt, but quickly, she felt an unprecedented sense of ’reality.’

This world is beautiful; it should not be occupied by monsters.

The world is right in front of her; humans are its masters.

As this thought flooded her mind, Jiang Yu suddenly understood what the Huaxia Army was doing.

She originally thought that even if the Huaxia Army was nobler than other forces in the wasteland, in essence, they were just a stronger group.

But now, she completely understood.

The difference between the Huaxia Army and other forces lies not in strength or weakness, but in their view of the world.

They always believe that they are the masters.

They also always believe that as masters, they are responsible for this world.

At this mont, everything she couldn’t understand before had an explanation.

All the motivations that seed unreasonable to her also beca logical.

The so-called ’integration’ often happens in an instant, and even she can clearly feel this process...

----in contrast, the process of executing the mission beca less significant.

"....I flew over Changshan, landed at the designated temporary airport, and used the power equipnt provided by the Ring Chamber of Comrce to complete the electricity resupply."

"After resupplying, I took off again, and the return journey was smooth."

"However, after loading the cargo, the aircraft’s range was shortened."

"There was only 2% power left when landing, which was dangerous."

"But actually, if we could discard the depleted batteries during flight, reducing weight would increase the range by at least 200 kiloters."

"Commander, we should consider incorporating this design into the next aircraft."

"....let’s wait until we can build aviation engines."

Chen Jian spread his hands helplessly and explained:

"We currently have no ability to manufacture the high-energy density batteries used in the bomber; losing one would be a significant loss, its value is even higher than the whole plane."

"So you should give up on this idea; we can’t afford it."

"Understood..."

Jiang Yu nodded thoughtfully, then eagerly asked:

"Commander, when will we be able to build aviation engines?"

"If we have aviation engines, we can build real fighters, right?"

"It’s a long way away."

While leading Jiang Yu towards the base entrance, Chen Jian explained:

"The so-called fighter construction is not as simple as you think, just the material issue is enough to block us."

"By the ti we can rebuild truly aningful fighters....human civilization should be close to recovery."

"I see..."

Jiang Yu sighed sowhat disappointedly, unwillingly asking:

"Will I be able to fly a fighter then?"

"You probably will."

Chen Jian smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.

But even this answer was enough to excite Jiang Yu.

"I will strive to live until then!"

"....don’t raise such flags...anyway, after these two flights, take so ti to rest."

Chen Jian said helplessly:

"The second plane has successfully completed its test flight, and pilot training is about to end."

"You are the first pilot we trained and also the most successful one."

"Ask Lei Jie to arrange for you to give a lecture to those who haven’t truly flown."

"Since you’re all starting from scratch, your experience might be more useful."

"Understood! I guarantee to complete the task!"

Jiang Yu replied solemnly, and at that mont, urgent footsteps suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

Chen Jian turned around, and the person approaching was Lei Jie.

"How did it go?"

Chen Jian asked.

"Absolutely fine!"

Lei Jie said while gasping:

"The fuel is correct, but not enough!"

"The route has been explored, with two bombers alternately flying, we can transport all the fuel back in a day!"

"As soon as the fuel is in place, we’ll start the pour!"
